AvensisTurbo4x4
Fresh Recruit
hello to you all!
i am Sander from Holland. 28 years old. I am running my own Sign company.
I have got 3 cars. A Toyota Avensis 1999, a Lexus LS400 1995 and a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 3rd generation 5.7 TPI V8.
The car i love the most is my Avensis. Bought the car new from the Dealer as a 1.6 saloon. There allways was the need for extra power, power the 1.6 could not give me. My dream was to make it a lot faster than the factory did. So I began the journey to convert it to a turbocharged engine. At that moment i did not know the Caldina existed. On a junkyard i bought a Celica engine. After a year i got the car running. When it finally was running properly it was like heaven. Only problem was the traction due to 2wd, brakes not up to the job, and poor suspension. Then came the second idea. Swap it to 4wd, big brakes, upgraded suspension and lots of other modes. I am now collecting the last parts for a complete 4x4 conversion.
I have done everything on the car myself, even the paint. Only thing i did not do was installing the motec and tune it.
Power output should be somewhere around 400 horsepower when the motec is mapped for the current engine setup and added parts.
Pictures of my car are on www.3sgte.nl
Is there someone here who can help me with a picture of what the rear subframe looks like from under the car (ST215 Caldina). So i can see where all the parts need to go and how it is mounted.
